I believe the answer is:

nephew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'relative' is the definition.
(type of relative)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for nephew that I've seen before include "Brother's/sister's son" , "Has a duty (to do something)" , "A sibling's child" , "Male relative" , "Sister's son" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
